I took my A for a 20 mile ride today and just for the fun of it put my hand on the banjo to see how hot the oil was. It was warm enough that I couldn't hold my hand on it for more than 20 seconds. It was only 75 degrees out and I had been running at 45mph. Does this seem right? It is full of 600w oil. Thanks, JB
 
Sounds too hot to me. I drove mine 17 miles when it was 85* out and then shot it with my temp gun and it was under 100*.
 
Thanks Tom, I will be looking into it. The car seems to lack power also. Maybe the perload of the carrier is too tight. JB
 
How easy does the car roll in neutral??
I know that mine rolls easy on level ground--i can pull it with 1 or 2 fingers
I havn't checked the temp of the rear recently, but a long time ago it would get a little hot to hold my hand on after a several hour run at 60 ---not enough to burn, but too hot to keep my hand on it , mine has never been apart, has moblle 636 for oil
 
Diff side brgs may be too tight as well.It can cause brgs to spin on carrier hub as well,usually on left side.
